Our Chef’s take inspiration from Billy Madison who drew a blue duck because he had never seen one before, and he wanted to see a blue duck! Well, since our chefs love classic Adam Sandler humor and innovative cooking, we thought that Bleu Duck was the perfect name to showcase our fun environment and staff as well as our unique and creative menu. Just like Billy, we like to try things that you’ve never seen before!  Bleu Duck Kitchen and Oyster Bar is a full service restaurant that provides a fun and welcoming atmosphere where white linens meet a casual feel to create the new concept of “fun-dining”. Co-Owners Erik Kleven and Jennifer Lester regard each customer as a welcomed friend, and aim to provide them with an experience that is both personal and unique every time they visit.

    Thanks to making a reservation. We got right in on a busy Monday evening. Our service was impeccable! We can’t say enough about the food- the calamari is pounded and soften and Ed and delicately breaded. It is accompanied by a delightful seafood sauce.! Some of the best calamari we’ve ever had! The walleye is also perfectly cooked and is a generous portion! The chicken, lettuce wraps are served with the freshest lettuce and a Thai sauce that amazes the senses! Hats off to Chester’s!!! we think it is now our favorite restaurant in Rochester!!

    Unreal space (main dining room with retractable roof!) and easy to get to from downtown. Our mains were overshadowed by our apps but great meal overall and service was excellent. Will return.
